Cheese

Once up on a day, an Arabic merchant poured milk from a goat into a flask that was made of a new lamb’s stomach and put it on a back of a camel owing to preparation for a long trip to cross a desert. As the merchant started and walked across the hot desert for a long tome, he was tired and opened the flask to drink the milk, but he found there was no milk but white lumps and transparent liquid, The merchant was surprised, but there wasn’t anything else to drink, so he tried to eat it, then he found it was so delicious, it is said to have been the beginning of cheese.
Now there are many kinds of cheese. How many kinds of them do you know?
At first, we can classify cheese into natural cheese and processed cheese. Removing water from milk by using a lactic acid bacterium and an enzyme makes natural cheese. Mixing some kinds of natural cheese and heating it can make processed cheese. Many kinds of processed cheese can be seen in super markets, such as sliced cheese, 6p cheese, baby cheese, and so on.
Mozzarella, cottage cheese, cream cheese, mascarpone, and Camembert cheese are types of natural cheese. Mozzarella, cottage cheese, cream cheese, and mascarpone are the kinds of cheese that are not matured. These kinds of cheese have much water and a slightly acidic taste, so they taste very simple. Camembert cheese is one of the kinds of cheese that is matured by using white mold. And there is a kind of natural cheese that is matured by using green mold. Natural cheese that is matured by washing its skin by salt water or alcohol has a very strong smell, but it tastes very mild. Making the water in the cheese 38% to 46% during the process of making cheese makes the cheese a little hard. It is very nice for preservation. And by making water in the cheese less than 38%, much harder cheese can be made.
Cheese has much nutrition. By eating 20g of cheese, you can get the same amount of nutrition as you can by drinking 200 ml of milk. So if you do not like milk, find your favorite kind of cheese. As there are many kinds of cheese, I’m sure you can find your favorite one.
